Join us at your local Registered Managers Network!

Organised and run in our area by Care and Support West, these networks are part of a national initiative supported by Skills for Care. Our networks have now been running for nine years; via a combination of in-person and virtual Zoom sessions. Download the latest programme flyer here.

The networks are open to Registered (and any other) Managers providing any type of adult social care service. There are currently networks running in Bath & North East Somerset, Bristol and South Glos and North Somerset. All topics are relevant to managers of any type of adult social care service. The networks are 50% Networking and 50% Training but they are 100% Sharing ideas and experiences and learning from each other.

Joining the Network this year costs £70 per participant for 3 x two-hour face-to-face sessions and 2 x virtual Zoom sessions a year, access to a growing library of shared resources.

We know you are on a budget so our aim is to offer cost-effective management training and real value for money.

As a new Registered Manager, I have found the Registered Manager’s Network sessions hugely helpful It has given me confidence in my own practice, has helped me network with more experienced managers and has given me a clear overview of the KLOE requirements
 
Being a Registered Manager can be lonely at times attending these sessions makes me remember that we are all in this together and going through the same things
